Y-you what? Impressive, I think I sat around 90-100 hours.

Lol, MAG is to this day the only shooter where I've logged over 100 hours. I got addicted to that game so hard.

Sony does a poor job at marketing exclusives, no matter how great they are.

Right, and I'm sure cars are so expensive because of used sales...

The excuse that publishers gave for the rising cost of games was originally because of rising development costs for AAA titles. If they're now saying it's because of the used market then it's pretty curious that they didn't mention it before.

used games have always been around, but once games hit about 40$ is when it became big time. the only problem with screwing over game-stop is that they are also the biggest distributor of their pre-orders. the most money made for a game is within the first month, after that, you rely on people buying new copies over used, and the PC market. hell, you can get a used game the DAY AFTER it came out

True but you never save any money buying a used game the day after it is released. No one who just bought something is going to immediately turn around and sell it for less. Unless the game is just that bad but then why would you want it?

DRM on the new consoles is just an absurdly stupid idea....
It would annoy the hell out of gamers.

HOWEVER!

Microsoft has always been hush hush about new stuff, the official name for the new console isn't even clear. So this is probably just a rumor that may or may not be false.
